On October 6, 2012 at around 9:30 a.m., Southwest Area patrol
officers responded to the 2600 block of Manhattan Place for a
Fire Department back-up call. When the officers arrived they
were met by Fire Department personnel who informed them that a
man in the apartment was holding a female at knifepoint.
Officers entered the apartment and saw the female on the kitchen
floor and the suspect, later identified as 64-year-old Wilfredo
Fu holing a knife in his hand. The suspect was ordered to drop
the knife, but instead continued to advance on the female later
identified as the suspect's wife at which time the officer
involved shooting occurred.

Los Angeles Fire Department Paramedics responded and transported
the suspect to a local hospital where he was pronounced
dead.

LAPD's Force Investigation Division (FID) responded and will be
handling the investigation of the officer-involved shooting and
criminal investigation.

The investigation will ultimately be reviewed by the Chief of
Police, the Office of the Inspector General and The Board of
Police Commissioners for compliance with the Department's
use-of-force policy which states that an officer's use-of-force
actions must be objectively reasonable. Additionally, the Los
Angeles County District Attorney's Justice System Integrity
Division will conduct a comprehensive review of the facts of the
officer-involved shooting.
